Rare, inherited disease in which muscle tissue is replaced by bone, leading to stiffness and impaired mobility.
Abnormal bone formation in a muscle usually located near the elbow joint. It usually occurs from muscle damage or as a complication of a fracture. It can also be a common complication of thigh muscle injuries from contact sports. Treatment may include taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen, with a gradual return to range-of-motion exercises. Surgery is usually not considered unless conservative therapy fails to improve symptoms within 6 months.
Myositis marked by ossification of the intramuscular fascia.
A condition, either congenital (existing from birth) or acquired, involves the accumulation of bone within muscles. The congenital variation is infrequent. Initial indications comprise painful lumps forming in the muscles, progressively solidifying and expanding until the affected individual becomes encased in a rigid covering. Regrettably, no treatment is available, and the outcome is fatal.
The acquired variation can emerge subsequent to a bone injury, particularly near the elbow. This form triggers intense discomfort and leads to swelling that eventually solidifies. Treatment involving diathermy and gradual, purposeful movements could offer some relief.
